Prophetic Fire: The Prophet's School
Prophetess Dr. N.E. Bazemore #thedetoxprophet #AncientlyProgressive
Those invited into the spiritual realm of prophecy are set on fire by the Lord from the inside out, top to bottom. God revealed Himself to Moses within a burning bush that did not burn up. In other words, the eternal fire of God is sustained by Himself, the self-existent One, capable of creating all things necessary to accomplish His purposes. It is important, however, to understand that fire has the potential to bless, as well as destroy; to consume or refine. Fire symbolizes many things, such as resurrection, eternity, rebirth, purification, and passion, as well as, destruction.
The Bible reveals truth through fire from Genesis to Revelation; and the prophets are well aware of the force of fire as it relates to the prophetic will of the Lord. So, let's look at this element, fire, from a spiritual perspective. But first, it is important to note that oxygen, heat, and fuel (fire triangle) combined with a chemical reaction equals a fire tetrahedron. We also underline the colors of a fire's flames which are: red, orange, yellow, blue, and/or white. However, the hottest flames of fire are white-blue. White speaks to purity and wisdom; blue represents spoken truth and spiritual revelation from the highest heaven. Spiritually speaking, the prophet's spirit, soul, and body must be offered up to the Lord in service to Almighty God. It requires that the prophet surrender his or her will to God's good and perfect divine sovereign will. It demands that the thoughts, words and works of God be communicated with the pure intent of the Lord. True prophetic ministry, as revealed by Jeremiah (weeping prophet), Isaiah (eagle-eye prophet), Samuel, and others, can be strangely lonely and draining. Burden-bearing prophets, such as Ezekiel and the like, are trusted with the weighty responsibility of intercession. Sometimes it's just the prophet and God. The prophet becomes God's instrument of love, help, and healing. Surrender to God keeps the prophet's spirit in the fiery presence of the Lord.
A prophet's unique spirit is required for the office of prophet. However, the Lord may use anyone to prophecy. The prophet's mantle is not the same as the prophecy anointing. The mantle is a spiritual covering according to the prophet's spiritual territory and sphere of influence. It is activated upon the awakening of the prophet's prophetic spirit by the Lord.
In this moment and in this hour of profound spiritual transition, you need a right now word from the Lord to bring clarity and illumination to the pilgrimage all prophets share.
You also need the Holy Spirit to guide you through a spiritual assessment, and/or a holistic evaluation of your current condition to pinpoint where you are in relationship to where you need to be in this season. You need a spiritual analysis, a prophetic study and interpretation of the choices that resulted in your current condition; a spiritual plan, a strategic course of action to transform your life by the renewing of your mind; and spiritual implementation, a green light to move in the appointed direction to reach your destiny. All of this is preparation for prophetic ministry.
One discipline method is fasting. Fasting is a Biblical principle that trains the Believer to depend on the Lord God for all things. It is usually a time of abstaining from food; however, other activities may be eliminated, as well. When the body is not involved in the work of food digestion and other activities, the spirit is able to hear the Holy Spirit more clearly and accurately. Fasting washes, cleanses, and purifies the spirit, soul, and body. Therefore, it is important to worship, pray fervently, read and study the Bible, and spend quiet time with the Lord during a fast. Fasting sharpens your spiritual senses, as well as your natural senses. It provides spiritual protection, as the Lord Himself keeps you.
This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 9:23-24
Lord Jesus Christ, I receive you as Savior and King. You are my HEALER. I have received the oil of joy and the garment of praise. Today, I choose to believe your TRUTH. I choose to be filled with your LIGHT. I choose to receive your eternal LIFE. Lord Jesus, by your grace, I will walk in LOVE. I will stay focused on YOU. I will trust you, King Jesus. I will believe that all things work together for good. I will praise you always, Lord. I will worship you in spirit and in truth, Lord. I will rest in your glory, Lord. I know that you understand me. I know that you know all about my past, present, and future. I know that you are working on my behalf in the unseen realm. You, Lord, have begun a good work in me; and You will complete it. I will trust the process from the inside out. I EXPECT the BEST! Thank you, Lord Jesus! I LOVE YOU! MAKE THIS YOUR CONFESSION!

Pastor Dr. N.E. Bazemore, Church Of God Ministries
The Book Of Revelation: Chapters 15-18
God desires to communicate with His people intimately. We are reminded that Adam and Eve were blessed to have access to God as they communed and fellowshipped in the Garden Of Eden. God has not changed! God still has revelation to release into the earth realm through His people. One of the ways that He accomplishes His communication purposes is through the prophetic ministry. Paul even encourages us to desire the gift of prophecy for the edification of the church.
As you know, we are living in an age of unprecedented acceleration of technological advances. So, since the Lord is allowing technology to invade the earth, we know that He will indeed use it for our good and His glory. This, however, requires a willingness on our part to seek out the Lord's good and perfect divine sovereign will in all matters pertaining to life. That means the earthly systems and kingdoms of: religion; education; healthcare; arts and entertainment; justice; business; economics; and the rest.
The Book of Revelation clearly reveals how God can and will use anything created for His purposes. Almighty God has all power and total control over everything. HE has the authority to command all the principalities, powers and hosts to align with His sovereign plans throughout all history.
According to the Biblical calendar, we are walking into the month of Iyar on March 13th of the Gregorian calendar. The tribe of Issachar is associated with this month. So, expect intense spiritual prophetic dreams and Holy Spirit interpretations to discern the times and seasons for you and those in your sphere of influence to act. God has appointed times for all things. The month of Iyar also reminds us that our God is Rapha (Healer). So, look forward to supernatural healing miracles in specific areas of disorder and misalignment. Lay the hands of God's Word on your situation(s), circumstance(s), and condition(s) with an expectation of healing and deliverance NOW! Hallelujah!
Chapter 15:
The 7 plagues, which are the last plagues God will send before Christ returns, complete the wrath of God, and are much stronger and widespread than the trumpet judgments. The tone in Revelation 15 speaks to God's law and His grace. The images remind us of God's people's exodus from Egypt. God is able to save, set free, heal and deliver spiritually and physically.
Chapter 16:
This chapter walks us through the bowls of wrath. It is also the chapter that references Armageddon. The battleground of Armageddon is located in the Valley of Jezreel in Israel. It speaks to the great and final war between the forces of good and evil.
Chapter 17:
Revelation 17 clearly reveals false religion or spiritual adultery symbolically as that of a prostitute and/or harlot. It reminds us that man looks at the outer appearance; however, the Lord God knows the heart. This chapter ends with a revelation of the meaning of the woman and the beast. The mystery speaks to kings and mountains. Again, we are reminded in verse 17 that God is in control.
Chapter 18:
Here, Babylon is a city devoted to wealth, materialism, and self-centeredness. The Fall of Babylon speaks to Babylon's judgment for spiritual fornication and sinful works. This chapter clearly reminds us of Romans 12:19: Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

This definitely is the time to consider using herbs and essential oils for your health and wellness. So, I've created a short video and some notes to get you started on your way to taking charge of your wellbeing. Let me know what you think, or ask questions in the comments section.
Stay well,
Nina
Essential oils are the highly concentrated oils stored in the fruits, seeds, flowers, barks, stems, roots, leaves or other parts of a plant for different purposes. Essential oils stored in the root, leaf, or bark are used by the plant as a defense mechanism. Essential oils stored in the resin are used by the plant for healing. Essential oils stored in the flower or fruit are used by the plant to attract pollinators. Essential oils are used by plants for communication purposes. High quality organic essential oils also have a very high vibrational frequency when used in aromatherapy and other modalities.
So, when you’re ready to create an aromatherapy blend, here are a few things to consider. What aromas attract you? What is the purpose of the blend? How will the blend be used? Who will be using the blend? Are there any health issues to consider? Are there any medication interactions to consider? Are your essential oils therapeutic? After you’ve answered these questions to your satisfaction, consider the following information. Please note that there are no strict guidelines regarding essential oil blends ~ personal preference and inspiration are usually the determining factors. However, general standards should be considered for safety purposes, as well as better outcomes.
It is generally recommended that you use 2 – 5 essential oils per blend as follows:
Base Note EO = 1 drop/added first/evaporates last
Heart Note EO = 2 drops/added second/essence of blend after top fades
Top Note EO = 3 drops/added last/evaporates first
~ OR ~
Base Note = 20% (Frankincense, Myrrh, Spikenard)
Heart Note = 50% (Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Tea Tree)
Top Note = 30% (Hyssop, Mint oils, Citrus oils)
Blends need to be added to carrier oils/diluted and allowed to sit for approximately 24 hours before using.
A few herb/essential oil families to consider:
Earthy/Woodsy
Citrus
Floral
Spicy
Sweet

Greetings ~ I'm back with more lifestyle musings. In my blogs, I muse about the things of life: spirit, soul and body ~ holistic living. Occasionally, I also share my thoughts and/or beliefs about the future from a Biblical perspective to encourage and inspire. So, if you are interested in beginning the new year with a fresh start, enjoy the video. I hope that you will be refreshed, renewed, rejuvenated, replenished, refocused, rewarded, reimagined and more in this new season. Please be sure to read the description box after you watch and/or listen to the video.
The video was recorded on the second day of Elul. The spiritual significance of the month of Elul interests me because it reminds us to take time to reflect. It is a period of days established to prepare us for a new beginning. New beginnings are a blessing because we receive another opportunity to make the choices that allow us to manifest who we already are spiritually. As we are adjusting to our new ways of living, we want to be careful not to take our old patterns of thinking that have hindered our awareness with us into the future. So, we bravely and humbly go through the process of cleansing and washing knowing that there is healing on the other side that leads to growth. Awareness requires that we release past traumas and wounds that keep us stuck. It is a process of forgiveness that encompasses all of our being. It sets us free to be who we were purposed to be in our lives. It reminds us of the answer that we were created to be in this world. Awareness allows us to live our highest life with newfound peace and joy.
Elul is also a time of blowing a trumpet (shofar) almost daily to consistently remind us to repent ~ turn back to the truth. Sometimes it helps to shout or create a sound that comes out of your innermost being. That sound that you release contains a frequency and vibration that causes your spirit, soul and body to come into alignment. Blowing a shofar also helps us to set the atmosphere for healing.
So, how do you start the renewal cycle? You start by setting the intention to begin again. You start by taking every thought captive. Why are you thinking those thoughts? Where do those thoughts originate? What truth can you use as a sword to cast out those thoughts? As you tend to the garden of your mind, you will soon realize that your words change. Remember, your words have power ~ think true thoughts and your words will follow. Finally, your actions will follow whatever you are dominantly thinking and speaking. Now I know that this is a very simplistic approach to what many have as severe life challenges. You are in my prayers as you grapple with and seek relief from the vicissitudes of life. However, I do believe that what I offer here is a step in the right direction, even as you may choose to get more life support.
Grace and mercy,
Nina Bazemore, DNM
